[QUOTE="randalthor, post: 1278783, member: 206889"] Get a SSD. That will speed up Lion. Turn off unnecessary start up items. Maybe replace your HDD since it seems to be damaged, and damaged drives perform much slower than undamaged drives. None of thee apply solely to lion, though. They're tips for all computers, all OSes. Lion is a speedy OS. It's faster than Snow Leopard, which was faster than Leopard. Tiger was probably the sleekest version of OS X, in terms of performance and size, but you lose out on most of the features of Leopard and newer. Still, repair disk permissions, and maybe run the apple hardware test to see if your HDD is dying (back up first). [/QUOTE]
